Do you want to ride them? If so, I'd go for the Welgo's with the removable pins - a surprisingly nice pedal and real cheap...

But, if you want them for show, the Victor DX copies are the closest and you can get cool colours!

Victor or Clover,  GT at a push.  They're all basically the same in terms of look and feel, but the axle strength is a little dubious. Depends if you're going to be throwing yourself off vert ramps to flat bottom or jumping stair gaps. If not, you'll be fine with any of those  :)

How about Haro Fusion pedals :daumenhoch:, Not sure if they're the best out there but are wider than Shimano SXs. I've had no trouble with them so far over the past year with my size 11's. I've got SX's but think they're a bit on the small side.
